1992 BMW 850i E31 Review | A manual V12 GT unicorn

In this video, I review a BMW 850i E31 which has a naturally aspirated V12 paired with a 6 speed manual gearbox which was quite a rare combination. It was the "budget" V12 option as it was below the BMW 850CSi yet that car is a shadow of what BMW could do with the E31 - the BMW M8. There's lots of V12 goodness to discuss here and why even the base 850i is a marvellous car. Want to feature on the channel and have your car reviewed?
